Does Diamond Jewellery Mean Wedding Bells For Paris?

Published on 28/04/08

The brother of Paris Hilton's boyfriend has fuelled rumours the couple are to wed by describing the heiress as his "sister-in-law".

Good Charlotte's Joel Madden made the comment after his brother and bandmate, Paris's beau Benji, wore a diamond ring bearing the initials PH, reports the Metro.

Citing the Mirror, the news provider reveals that a source said: "A lot of people have brushed it off as a publicity stunt but Benji is serious about Paris and he has discussed marriage plans with his brother - which is why Joel called her his sister-in-law."

Joel made the rumour-fuelling comments as he introduced the crowd at California's Coachella festival to the socialite.

Meanwhile, Nicole Ritchie - Paris's on/off best friend and The Simple Life co-star - recently gave birth to a child fathered by Joel, a baby girl called Harlow.

Hilton was recently seen in romantic comedy The Hottie and The Nottie with Joel David Moore and Christine Lakin.
